Are new pistols being delivered from the factory with standard capacity magazines or are they still shipping with the 10 rounders?
 
I just bought a Beretta 92FS. They still have the standard issue 10 rounders (2 each). However my gun store throws in a 15 round LEO mag for free. The store also sells the 15 rounders for $20 each.
 
My most recent purchase was a revolver!!
Me too! My dealer's shelves is full of revolvers. They start pouring in just right after the ban expired. Coincedence? :)
I got a Charter Arms .38 snubbie for $140 OTD.

BTT,
My dealer's new arrival Glocks and S&W auto's are shipped with standard capacity mags i.e. hicaps to some. ;)
Some gunshops in my area are still in denial. Standard capacity mags are still priced at $60-100. :(
 
Made two handgun purchases this month but both were revolvers. I do know that Ruger and HK are shipping with std cap mags though.
 
I think Springfield Armory got the standard cap magazines (for the XDs) out in the pipeline in two weeks or less.
 
I've haven't bought a new pistol since the ban expired, but did pick up a Ceiner conversion.

They shipped it with an "LEO Only" 15 round mag. The spare mag ordered was unmarked.
 
99.9% of all new pistol shipments we've gotten contain the proper high capacity magazines. As nature intended. And the other .1% come with 10 rounders but the makers are tossing in hi-caps with them. I'm sure there are some dealers out there that are putting those on the shelf and not with the pistolas.
 
My last purchase was a commander size 1911, 10mm.

I didn't even get a 10 rounder :(

I feel cheated. :)
 
Just got a HK USP compact, 2 12 rounders with it. AFAIK HK is shipping all their pistols with high caps now (to free states anyway) but they are all still LEO/GOV only marked. Most of the other companies have already started cranking out unmarked mags.
 
Got a new CZ 75B in the last month and it was a roll of the dice as to whether it would have 15's or 10's. I don't go to Vegas anymore (read: I got 10's).
 
My dealer told me it depended on whether the gun was already in stock or was ordered after the ban died (in most cases anyway) I just took delivery on a new Ruger P90TH and it came with the 8 round magazine instead of the 7 round that was listed on their website, but either of those are below 10, so who knows???
 
In November a friend bought a P95 from Sportsman's Warehouse in St. Cloud, MN, with two 10-round mags, for $260. I think they were trying to blow them out before the new guns with full-capacity magazines.
 
Just ordered and received a Ruger P95. It came with standard capacity mags. I will probably order a couple of 15 rounders after Christmas.
 
I bought a P99QA on Saturday-

came with 2 10's, but Walther America is having a promotion through S&W. I fill out this basic form and sent a copy of my receipt. They will send me 2 15 rounders for free!!!

4 mags? Sounds good to me.
